Dust collection system for power tool
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dust collection systems for power tools require dedicated dust suction bits and hose attachments, limiting their usability with ordinary bits.
Innovation Solution
A dust collection system that includes a cylindrical first attachment covering the tip tool's entire circumference, a second attachment with a dust collector, and a flexible hose connecting both, allowing dust collection with ordinary bits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a dedicated dust suction bit with internal dust suction passage and hose attachment is used, then dust collection capability is improved, but device complexity and limitation to ordinary bits worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The dust collection attachment is divided into two separate components: a first attachment that covers the tip tool and a second attachment that includes the dust collector. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, enabling the system to work with ordinary bits while maintaining effective dust collection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
A flexible hose is introduced as an intermediary element to connect the first dust collection attachment (which covers the tip tool) to the second dust collection attachment (which contains the dust collector). This intermediary allows dust to be transported from the generation point to the collection point, enabling dust collection with ordinary bits that lack built-in suction passages.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid connection between dust collection attachments is used, then structural stability is improved, but flexibility and ease of operation worsen
Solution Approach 1:
A flexible hose is used to connect the first and second dust collection attachments. This flexible connection maintains structural integrity for dust transport while allowing the attachments to be positioned optimally during operation, improving both ease of use and adaptability to different working conditions.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables efficient dust collection with ordinary bits, reducing accumulation in the first attachment and improving usability by using a flexible hose to connect the first and second attachments.
Implementation Method 1
A dust collection fan in the dust collection device rotates to generate a suction force at the tip of the bit body to suck dust together with outside air

AI summary
A dust collection system for a power tool can collect, with an ordinary bit, dust with a flexible hose connected. A dust collection system for a power tool includes a power tool to receive a tip tool protruding frontward and including a tool body, a cylindrical first dust collection attachment attachable to the tool body and covering the tip tool over its entire circumference with the first dust collection attachment being attached, a second dust collection attachment attachable to the tool body and including a dust collector, and a flexible hose to connect the first dust collection attachment and the second dust collection attachment to collect dust sucked through the first dust collection attachment into the dust collector included in the second dust collection attachment.
